How important are video/computer games to you ?
We've all been here before. You get a new game on Saturday morning, get it back home and before you know it it's Monday morning and your gonna be late for work. Your mobile has a huge missed calls list and your SMS inbox is overflowing but you still want to "just finish this bit before I go" blah blah blah....
Think of all the systems you've owned over the years. The hours, days, weeks, months you've spent staring at a screen trying to beat the computer or your highest score or "just finish this bit" Think of the feeling you get when you finally "just finish this bit" or beat that garguntuan end of level guardian that fills half of the screen and send epileptics into siezures as the rest of the screen is filled with multi coloured flashing spinning lasers and bombs.
Think of the feeling of absolute hatred and rage as you launch the controller at the TV, fly accross the room and tear the poor defenseless game from your console, and throw it out the window before pounding the machine into the dirt.

Q: Could you give it all up for good ?

I'm only 23 but have been playing games since my dad brought home a colecovision when I was about 4, 19 years of staring at a screen and trying to "just do this bit" a big part of my life, just about all of it infact.
Could I give it up for good ? HELL YEAH.

Ive been playing computer games on and off for 27 years now, I have had long periods when the boredom has set in mainly due to nothing new or interesting enough being around but always go back to playing something or other.
I don't think I would want to give it up totally because it's always there as a way to let of steam or to just have a bit of fun for a few hours.

Yeah, I could give it up.
But I'd need a *really* good reason to.
I don't spend that much time on my PS2 anyways so it wouldn't be that hard to give up.
Although...I would spend alot more time in the pub spending the money on drink instead of games...
hmmm
Anyone want a PS2?
:op

You could give up video gaming after all those years, just like that! I don't think so.
